Mrs. Cheney suggests first lady Laura Bush should seek the White House

[ruggerson]

I knew this woman was insane the moment she screechingly tried to smear John Kerry for bringing up her lesbian daughter on television.

http://wbns10tv.com/Global/story.asp?S=3407458

WASHINGTON Vice President Dick Cheney says he's not running for president in 2008. So his wife has a suggestion about who should run.

Lynne Cheney says maybe first lady Laura Bush should seek the nomination. On C-N-N's "Larry King Live" scheduled to air tonight, Mrs. Cheney says, "If we want to have a Bush dynasty, let's get Laura Bush."

There's been speculation that Governor Jeb Bush might run for the White House. And, some Democrats support former first lady, and now-Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

During the interview, the vice president says he's not planning to run for any office after his term expires. Cheney says he's "got other things" he'd like to do.

[napi21]

1. I think that's a fantastic idea!

The Dems could beat her so easily, people wouldn't even remeber the name of the "other" candidate!

[merwin]

38. I second that!

[shadowknows69]

43. NOOO

this just means that they are so confident in their election fixing that they'll suggest anyone.

[Changenow]

46. The outcome is predetermined

If Laura is anointed, it's President Pickles.

[JohnnyBoots]

53. why is she always mentioned as "Pickles?"

[NeoConsSuck]

55. Maybe this..

http://www.childbutcher.com/

[madmax]

2. Better yet...

The TWINS!!! One for Pres and the other Vice Pres. :puke:

[bigluckyfeet]

8. Mrs. Cheney should Run

Since her husband is running the country.

[MidwestTransplant]

20. It would really improve sales of her Lesbian erotic novel.

[Cha]

29. As sniffa said

about the twins running.."can you say co-presidency?"!

[China_cat]

3. Jeb isn't on tap

for the next installment of the Bush dynasty. Neal is.

Or is it Neil? Or Neille? I've seen it spelled so many ways...

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

10. No, I think Noelle should be the next Bush to run...

:evilgrin:

[MadisonProgressive]

40. Wheee! Free crack for everyone!!

[Changenow]

47. Did she have a stroke?

Has she been seen since her rehab? Maybe they sent her to Amsterdam.

[Canuckistanian]

57. Definitely Attorney General material there....

No one is ever punished in the Bushco(tm) regime...

[ruggerson]

71. Noelle Bush and Bill Frist - Crack and Quack

n/t

[AspenRose]

113. ROFL!!!

:rofl: :spray:

[punpirate]

11. Nope...

... Neil's damaged goods--he's still got the Silverado mess hanging over his head, along with a messy divorce and the Thai hooker business (which is probably where he got that wart on his pee-pee). :) And, he's genuinely dyslexic--no grand speeches for him if he's got to read them.

Jeb is much smarter (and much meaner) than Dubya. His parents always expected--and wanted--that Jeb would run for President first. Dubya beat him to it.

Jeb must step down from the governorship in 2006, giving him a couple of solid years to build money and wealthy friends. No matter what he's saying now, he'll make a stab at it.

[Mz Pip]

32. Neil's damaged goods...

When did that ever stop a Bush from running for office?

Arbusto didn't hurt Dubya.
And neither did dyslexia or alcohol induced brain damage or whatever the hell the cause of Dubya's mangling of the English language is.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[punpirate]

67. One difference...

... all that didn't get smeared all over the press. :)

Dubya was in full plausible denial mode right from the start, and the press cooperated. Neil's problems were broadcast widely because they were both titillating and contemporary. Dubya's were, supposedly, ancient history. Or, that's what he wanted the press to repeat--and they did, for the most part.

Too, I don't think Neil's interested in the job. He's more interested in making as much money as possible with the least amount of effort--making money off his name. He's never run for elective office (neither has Marvin), he's openly hostile to the press in public, and his record as a human being is just as miserable as Dubya's. Way too many negatives--even for Republicans today. :)

[Gidney N Cloyd]

115. What's Marvin good for, anyway? Spare parts?

[Nostradamus]

124. Disabling security at WTC on 9/9/2001 to let explosives guys in..

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=125x10267

[Changenow]

48. More Democratic smears,

he is committed to helping learning disabled children. Why don't the Democrats want to help the disabled?

[Changenow]

49. How will Pickles take the news?

Maybe she can be VP.

[WI_DEM]

4. Every once in a while Lynn comes up with a good one

I wouldn't mind Laura Bush as the GOP nominee--I think she would be relatively easy to beat. Furthermore I'd much prefer her to Jeb.

[pissed_American]

5. Cheney says he's "got other things" he'd like to do....

kinda like he did during Viet nam.

Fuckin` PUNK !!!

[SOS]

6. Enough already

1980 Bush VP
1984 Bush VP
1988 Bush P
1992 Bush P
2000 Bush P
2004 Bush P

28 years of this family should suffice.

[MadisonProgressive]

41. Clinton was pres in 92

[TroglodyteScholar]

56. And 6x4 is 24, not 28..and should be 5x4 = 20 anyway. TOO MUCH still. n/t

[MadisonProgressive]

62. no argument there!

[booksenkatz]

7. I think it should be Noelle's turn

She's a "laid-back" kinda gal, and I'm sure she'll surround herself with very competent people, just like her Unca Chimp did. And we know what a whopping success he's been.
:puke::silly:

[justsomegirl]

9. Great...

Sounds like they want to see a Laura vs. Hillary deathmatch in '08 or something.

[hedda_foil]

12. This may be their game.

Think about it. It's a way to give hubby another two terms. It's done all the time in third world countries.

[Frances]

13. It was done in Alabama

Lurleen Wallace ran with George saying he'd be her No. 1 advisor. (George couldn't succeed himself) Lurleen won.

[sarcasmo]

18. This would be easier than declaring Martial Law.

[Writer]

14. As a buffer to Hill...

Because the Condi brand didn't market very well.

[Evergreen Emerald]

15. With Diebold the Bush's dog could win an election

I suspect, unless we do something about Diebold we will have in office whoever PNAC wants in office.

[shanti]

17. exactly

so the question is, why are we even discussing this? diebold has it locked up:-(

[dmr]

16. The Stepford President

Blank eyes, cold Xanax smile and all ...

[cornermouse]

19. Total loss of contact with reality.

There is NO WAY.

[undeterred]

21. XANAX NATION

We could just add a high dose of Xanax to the drinking water... then none of the fuckups that this administration has made would bother us any more than they bother her!

[Dudley_DUright]

22. Too much Xanax for Laura

She has to seek the whitehouse, since she forgot where she lives.

[peekaloo]

23. Damn, brisket's still on the spit and she's drunk off her ass.

I don't want to live in THEIR world any longer. :cry:

[Dulcinea]

24. I think Laura hates public life.

How else do you explain some of her outfits?

[whosinpower]

25. What is with the in-your-face hard on rivalry of

the Clintons vs the Bushes???????

Seems to me after all this time, the Bush family is STILL feeling inferior to the Clinton dynasty and it bites them to no end. I could be wrong.......

[Gregorian]

26. WHY NOT BARNEY!

Barney for GOP. Yay Barney. I can just see the headlines. Laura uses Ouija board to decide which country Barney will invade next... Stay tuned.

[Cha]

27. I beat ya..I knew

she was insane 4 years pryor to that!

So they admit they're out for a fucking bushdyNASTY?

I bet ol' larry was just lapping it up like the suckdog he is.

[demokatgurrl]

28. Now THAT'S effin' funny!!!!!!!n/t

[JerseygirlCT]

30. Yeah, cause she's done exactly what?

Sat back quietly and smiled while her husband destroyed the planet?

[struggle4progress]

34. Oh, come off it. I bet she snorted coke with George. Just how much ..

.. other experience do you think George really had?

[JerseygirlCT]

63. None. Actually, probably even less.

I think one could assume she got her librarian job legitimately.

George never got anything through his own work.

[Historic NY]

31. Cheney says he's "got other things" he'd like to do.

yeah like spend his war profits.......................:grr:

[bemildred]

33. "This is your brain on drugs". nt

[devinsgram]

35. Oh boy

just imagine the train wreck that would be.

[Lisa]

36. the only White House seeking these people should be doing ...

... would be the type involving a map (or in their case, a fancy GPS gadget).

[Swamp Rat]

37. "If we want to have a Bush dynasty..."

No, we don't want one but it has already been forced upon us. There is a way to end it, though:

PLEASE RUN LAURA! :)

[MadisonProgressive]

39. Please! I can only take so much!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :wow:

[deadparrot]

42. The day the current Republican party nominates a woman for President...

is the day I join PNAC.

[MADem]

44. First thing that came to my mind was LURLEEN WALLACE

Lurleen Burns Wallace was born on September 19, 1926, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to Henry and Estelle Burroughs Burns. She worked in a Tuscaloosa dime store where she met George C. Wallace. Sixteen-year-old Lurleen married George on May 22, 1943, and devoted herself to being a housewife and mother over the next twenty years. When her husband was elected governor in 1963, she assumed the duties of first lady. Mrs. Wallace opened the first floor of the governor's mansion to tourists seven days a week and refused to serve alcoholic beverages at executive mansion functions.

In 1966, after failing to get the legislature to amend the constitution to allow governors to serve consecutive terms, George announced the candidacy of his wife Lurleen for governor. The couple admitted frankly that if Lurleen was elected, George would continue to make the administrative policies and decisions. Mrs. Wallace won the May Democratic primary with 54 percent of the vote which assured her election in November.

Lurleen was inaugurated on January 16, 1967, and refused to have the customary inaugural ball out of respect to Alabamians serving in Vietnam. Although she continued to carry out George's policies regarding segregation, Mrs. Wallace did not remain in her husband's shadow completely. She initiated a few programs of her own. Most notable was her successful campaign to increase funding for the state's mental hospitals....

In March 1967, a federal court ordered that Alabama's public schools must begin desegregation that fall. Lurleen responded with a televised speech to the state legislature on March 31. In that speech she asked the legislature for the power to seize all state schools and place them under police power. Although clearly a policy from George, the speech was delivered by Mrs. Wallace with "force and faultless execution." (Stewart, p. 206). Lurleen, Governor Lester Maddox of Georgia and Governor Paul Johnson of Mississippi called a meeting of twelve southern governors to draft a plan to fight the court order. In addition to the meeting's organizers only one other southern governor attended, Governor John McKeithen of Louisiana. McKeithen and Maddox, however, stated they would not disobey the court order. The hand of her husband was again displayed in May when Lurleen recommended that state funds be withheld from Tuskegee Institute. Mrs. Wallace also opposed an Office of Economic Opportunity antipoverty grant to establish a farm cooperative for blacks in Lowndes County.

[Changenow]

45. The most difficult part of the next

cycle for the Republicans will be the selection of the next president. Competing ambitions may lead us back toward the path of counting the votes, at least in the primary

Laura is as good as the rest of them.

[mitchum]

50. This is classic snideness from Lynn Cheney...

she smirkingly acknowledges the reality of a bush dynasty AND diminishes the accomplishment of Hillary Clinton by equating Clinton and Laura Bush.
She is a real piece of work.

[CJCRANE]

51. Laura Bush vs Wesley Clark...

now that would be an interesting Presidential Debate...Librarian vs General...

[Olney Blue]

58. Debate question: Mrs. Bush, what is your exit strategy for

Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Korea, etc.......

[CJCRANE]

130. That's why

I think the Dems should go for Wesley, the guy has so many national security and foreign policy credentials (not to mention academic background etc etc) that pitting Laura against him would seem like a joke.

[Vickers]

52. She's more qualified than that jackass she married

I think that she at least earned her grades in college, and I'm pretty sure she's never run a string of companies in to the ground.

Plus, she has killed in combat.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

54. Why not?

Somebody's gotta be Dick's puppet.

I mean people aren't going to vote for that heartless asshole.

[NIGHT TRIPPER]

59. and Laura Xanax thinks Mrs Cheney should run for President too !

Those drugs ar Magnificent !

[Piperay]

60. ROTFLMFAO

hehehehe hohohohoho cough cough hic hic :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: if only. Let's hope so, she's such a dud we could put anyone up opposite her and they would win.:woohoo:

[applegrove]

61. They just have to keep the news on Laura - any which way they can.

The only positive they have I guess.

[malaise]

64. I saw this coming

Damn these are lunatics.

[jayctravis]

65. Hillary vs. Laura, the debates would be worth it.

[Zorra]

66. I hope she runs. The misogynistic white male dominated republican

party would stay home by the millions on election day.

[AuntiBush]

73. Really.

Pickles for President. Aa.ha.

Guess someone has to protect the treasonable family secrets.

[Megahurtz]

122. Pwaaahaha!

:spray:

[WindRavenX]

68. oh, hells no

:puke:
She's an insult to women everywhere.

[area51]

69. Mrs. Cheney suggests first lady Laura Bush should seek the White House"

Murderer for prez! </sarcasm>

[ChickMagic]

131. Is she having trouble finding it?

Xanax will do that to ya.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

70. Well I wouldn't vote for her, but she'd be an improvement

over Dumbyass.

[PittPoliSci]

72. just what we need...

a completely sedated, disconnected republican running the country...

kinda just like it has been the last 4 years. she might just be able to win.

[bling bling]

75. Maybe she's sedated because she's trying to numb her conscience.

That's probably why she chain-smokes too.

I think Laura once said she's a Republican by marriage only. I think she also got in trouble by "the family" for saying that too.

[bling bling]

74. Good idea, Lynne.

:eyes:

Although if given the choice right now, I'd much rather see Laura as Prez for the next three years than *.

[truthisfreedom]

76. manslaughter daughter-in-law?

[Moderator]

77. kick to combine

[ckramer]

78. Laura Bush/Hillary Clinton presidential matchup?

"You know, people are thinking of Mrs. Clinton running for president. I think Mrs. Bush ought to run for president," Mrs. Cheney said. "If we want to have a Bush dynasty, let's get Laura Bush."

The vice president, who again ruled out making his own run for president when Bush's term ends, agreed.

"It's a great idea," Dick Cheney said. "And I think I know who would win too."

[merwin]

79. Please please please run Laura. That would guarantee a landslide

for Hillary.

[elehhhhna]

80. That's wthat the "W'08" stickers mean: Laura Welch Bush. YIKES!

[femmecahors]

81. who wants to have a Bush Dynasty?

They should be deported to Saudi Arabia . . .

[Azzkabar]

82. I think I know who would win too

And it wouldn't be Pickles, you can take that to the bank.

Azz

[tinrobot]

83. When they own the voting machines....

Something like that ceases to be funny and starts becoming scary.

[stellanoir]

87. I'd the same thought when I heard that.

[Mnemosyne]

110. Me three. n/t

[izzybeans]

84. The debates would be hilarious. I hope it happens.

[noamnety]

85. Nobody wants Laura behind the wheel. (nt)

[elehhhhna]

93. mwahahahaha! Excellent.

[NYCGirl]

86. Now things are just getting silly.

I think that was a Republican idea of a joke.

[dajoki]

88. run laura run

i know who would win, hillary in a blowout. if laura's pet project is reading , why didn't she ever teach her husband?

[Straight Shooter]

89. Nobody pay attention to the year 2005. Let's all look at 2008.

They are so desperate, they're trying to distract us with a ridiculous notion of Laura running for Oval Office.

Sorry, but being married to Little Boots does not qualify one for political experience. "A great idea" says Mr. Implant. What next, the twins as co-presidents?

[xxqqqzme]

90. sure, why not? another puppet

4 the puppet masters.

if, we want a b*sh dynasty? IF? hell no, this one is about as much disaster as I can stand.

[SammyWinstonJack]

91. I'm sure he does.

"And I think I know who would win too." Will Lynn Cheney run as VP? Who the HELL wants a bush** dynasty?

[jobycom]

104. I hear that. nt

[Catherine Vincent]

92. oh please!

[Whoa_Nelly]

94. Nothing more than another ROVEr media BS plant

I wish that fuck would disappear. Am daily more disgusted by the US media that props up the BS coming out of the ROVE machine while our troops die, cholera moves on in Iraq, CAFTA marchs on for more global corporate corruption, and the whores give credence to this kind of BS as "news".
:rant: :puke: :nuke: :rant: :puke: :nuke: :rant: :puke: :nuke:

[coloradodem2005]

95. They're idiots. No debating that.

[demnan]

96. It's laughable

it wouldn't even be a fair fight. . . oh, never mind.

[ronnykmarshall]

97. They must toked on hooter before that interview.

But then again, with the voting rigged they just might run ol' pickled in '08.

[Dogmudgeon]

98. How about ...

... getting William F. Buckley royally stoned (R), against Harry Shearer doing an impression of the late Pat Paulsen (D) at his mushroom farm?

Hillary is not likely to run in '08 (though I could be wrong), and Laura is not exactly "presidential timber", no matter how many lumber companies her idiot husband may or may not own.

But if the Commentariat wants to waste its time, it could make for some side-splitting laff riots.

--p!

[ronnykmarshall]

99. It's finally been spoken in public.

Lynn "Lesbian Novelist" Cheney said the "D" word. "Dynansty". You know that damn Bush family isn't going to give up power that easy.

[donheld]

100. Too discusting for words

:nuke::eyes: :puke:

[lies and propaganda]

101. Kill me

Its not funny, its horrifying.

They own votes and the voting machine in which their cast. we would be fucked with Pickles as our president, and thats the offical start of my becoming an expatriate.

[davidinalameda]

102. the funny thing is

that if they wanted a Bush dynasty, why not go with Jebbie

is this a smack on him

[Gidney N Cloyd]

116. Smacking Jeb

I suspect Jeb wouldn't be as easy to manipulate as Jr., though. I wonder if this really isn't a shot over his bow to get with the program or they annoint someone else?

[jobycom]

103. Piece of shit Cheney! You see what he's doing, don't you?

This isn't a proposal to get Laura to run, it's a slash at Hillary. He's trying to reduce her and all of her accomplishments in Arkansas, DC, and now New York to being just a wife of a president.

That will be their 2008 tactic, and the fact that they are starting it now to me proves who they are most afraid of. They plan to attack her as a woman by denigrating her as "just a wife." They might even start praising Bill to do it. "Now, we had our differences, but Bill Clinton was an effective leader. Hillary is just his wife, though. Are you hoping Bill will really run things for her?"

They plan on using this nation's latent mysogyny against her.

Cheney is a dog. They are the party of hate. They couldn't win without dividing the nation.

[yashuryabetcha]

111. I think you've got it

[mitchum]

128. That is exactly what they are doing! EOM

[GreenArrow]

105. "if we want to have a Bush dynasty"

"We" don't.

[stanwyck]

106. If she's qualified, then

I'm over-qualified.

[Dover]

107. If they were to run her as a candidate.....proof positive of a rigged vote

And regardless of who they run....they'll win if the voting machine issue isn't front and center...the FIRST priority of any opposing party.

[drdtroit]

108. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ....

No, really? :rofl:

[annabanana]

109. dis TRACTION!

:eyes:

[The_Casual_Observer]

112. Seek the White House what?

[chknltl]

114. CNN announces: Bush /Cheney '08

I swear I saw it, they even had a button with laura and lynn looking very presidential/vice presidential. OK so they were just speculating but I DO want one of those buttons.

[davidinalameda]

117. Lynn wouldn't be a bad vice president

she has the intelligence needed but it's a shame it's being used for evil instead of good

[Initech]

Dear god. Four more years of this crap...

And I think I might have to flee the country.

[Marnieworld]

118. Well it's clear that Lynne is in on the ol' election theft apparatus. n/t

[agincourt]

119. It might be suprising,

how many people would vote for her. I know that doesn't make sense but remember this is a country where 17% of the population thinks the earth orbits around the sun in one day. She really is not a step down from W. I know this sounds like a joke but many security moms would vote for her.

[shantipriya]

126. Laura for President

I agree with you. There are die-hard Repugs who would vote for anyone nominated even if a rapist & a murderer were nominated as long he/she was a repug.

[cap]

120. hillary's floor wiping of Lazio will be nothing compared

to her dusting Laura off.

[anotherdrew]

121. Mrs. Cheney should seek a f-ck'n clue

[shantipriya]

123. Laura for President?????

If Laura(?) were nominated and becomes the President(which I doubt very much), I will quit this country.No kidding!!!

[Nostradamus]

125. Why not Michael Jackson...

[bixente]

127. What experience does Laura Bush have in politics?

Although, if she does what she usually does, nothing, she would make a better President than he husband.

[Ilsa]

129. Ilsa suggests Mrs. Cheney STFU.

I couldn't take another four years of any combination of any Bush or any Cheney.

[lebkuchen]

132. Why doesn't Mrs. Cheney run?

She "WOW"'ed the military's 1st graders at Vicenza Elementary School, Germany a couple of years ago, hawking her "Patriotism" bullshit book--that is until one of the students asked her if her husband had ever served in the military.

Mrs. Cheney neglected to tell the youth that her husband had, in fact, earned 5 military deferments, the bulk of his resume of patriotic "service" to his country.

[jazzjunkysue]

133. OK with me. They'll invade Paris, Rome, anywhere with good taylors.

And pearls.
